I play video games and review them.

Mary Vanderworth dreams of being a chef while her parents want her to become a lawyer, like them. Therefore, she has to maintain her job at the restaurant while working at a law firm to pass the bar.

The storyline is similar to the first venue of Cathy’s Crafts, except this one takes up the entire game. Mary moves from restaurant to restaurant mastering her chosen profession while meeting other people along the way. One in particular is a man that wants to be a comedian despite his father’s wish that he take over the family business. I loved the parallels with Mary’s own conflict and that, in both cases, it takes awhile for the parents to realize that they need to set their children free. The difference is that he can stand up to his father while Mary is still trying to make her parents happy.

However, I didn’t like one plot element. This element takes the form of Mary’s boyfriend, Peter. Not only is his addition pointless to the story, but he shows excessively jealous tendencies towards Mary. He also shows himself to be indecisive and fickle by breaking up with Mary only to go back to the ex-girlfriend he despised. While Peter is right that Mary is destroying herself by becoming a lawyer rather than a chef, we didn’t need him to point that out for us.

The game play is similar to the Delicious series with you delivering the required items to the customers. Then you check them out at the cash register and clean the tables for sitting customers.

Be quick about it, or customers will leave if they don’t get the table they want the minute they walk in the restaurant. Believe me when I say it gets frustrating. You need to reach the first star of every level in order to continue the game, but try for all three if you feel lucky.

Each level comes with a special challenge you have to complete in order to get diamonds you can spend on gifts for Mary’s room. You can also win trophies throughout the game by complete special tasks. Did I mention that you can upgrade the products throughout each venue? However, I should tell you, the game doesn’t really give you an exact idea of how close you are to the newer products and the trophies. This makes it even more irritating. Completing venues also unlocks recipes for your cookbook. Emily’s nemesis, Carl the mouse, also appears in every level for you to catch. That’s right; Emily makes a cameo appearance to explain about the mouse that drove exterminators crazy.

This time, Carl doesn’t appear in the exact location every time. Therefore, you had better be quick.

This game is fun, but has a couple of flaws. I give it 6 out of 10, one point off for the boyfriend and another for the game play issues.

Ever since childhood, Maggie dreamed of writing her own movie. Unfortunately, her job at Hollywood is being the assistant director to an insufferable man. If that wasn’t enough, Maggie also has to deal with co-workers who will do whatever it takes to crush her. Does Maggie have what it takes to make it in the cutthroat business of Hollywood?

This review might contain spoilers, so read with caution. While the game does take place in the Delicious universe, it’s a little more ambitious than most games that you would find in the series. For starters, this game discusses one theme common in Hollywood, sexism. It starts with the female star of the move in the first venue, Catherine, complaining about how her character, Hester, is little more than a plot device to motivate the man. When she brings this up to Frank, the star of the movie, and Clyde, the director, they both scoff at her. Maggie is the only one to take Catherine seriously and bring this up to Clyde, pointing out that the target audience of the movie is women so the main woman has to be someone they can admire. As much as I hate to say this, Maggie is only half-right. While movies such as Jane Austen adaptations and Titanic feature strong female leads, movies like the Twilight Saga find themselves lacking in a similar department. All three have, or had, a large female audience, but the former two still have large fan bases. As for the last one, very few people talk about it anymore.

I said in the first movie that Maggie’s dream is to write her own movie. When she finally gets the chance to meet the son of a famous producer, Al Jr., it’s not her script she pushes on him. Her friend, Michael, is also an aspiring screenwriter and wants Maggie to help him make it big in Hollywood. However, he shows no interest in reading her script. In other words, Maggie also faces sexism in Hollywood and it doesn’t stop with Michael. Al Jr. tells Maggie to look pretty in order to please the investors and some of them are more interested in dating her than they are in listening to her opinions.

Even when Maggie tries to wow investors as herself and has it under control, Al Jr. still undermines her and puts her down when he can. To make a bad situation worse, when Michael finally reads Maggie’s script, he admits that he fell asleep while reading the beginning. He then proceeds to call her story a boring chick flick. This is the final straw and inspires Maggie to break off into her own independent company.

I should tell you that Maggie’s movie is not one that I’d call a chick flick. It’s a compelling story about the main character discovering that her father’s tied to the mafia and working with her friends to stop him. However, society has a belief that stories starring men are gender neutral while stories starring women are exclusively for women. It is a belief that started disappearing in the 90s era of television. The proof is that shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Daria attracted a large male audience despite both shows starring women. It’s even less prevalent in present time with The Hunger Games and Wonder Woman doing well in the box-office. While the issue of sexism hasn’t disappeared entirely, this is a step in the right direction.

I’ll admit that this game is a huge improvement over Mary Le Chef. However, the storyline does have one or two problems. The star of the movie Maggie first works on, Frank, is rude, arrogant and sexist. He demands special treatment, hates when Catherine’s character gets more screen time than he does and sexually harassed a member of the staff. It gets so bad that Maggie fires him and gives more screen time to Catherine to finish the movie. When Maggie starts her own company and needs an actor to play her main male character, Frank comes through for her and his personality does a complete 180. There is no build up to this whatsoever. Like Mary Le Chef, this game also has unnecessary romantic subplots. The first being Maggie’s romance with Michael that goes nowhere and ends when he reveals his own selfishness and sexism. While this is a necessary subplot to make Maggie release her dream, there is no need for a romantic connection between her and Michael. Maggie also has a love interest in the form of Ted who shows no value other than being her high school crush. Ted shows more value in the extra footage that comes with the platinum edition. However, he is little more than a device for conflict between Maggie and Jessica. Catherine and Frank also get together, despite having no chemistry other than when they play characters romantically linked to each other in movies. Also, despite this game taking place in the Delicious universe, don’t expect any cameos from the characters.

The game play is a vast improvement over Mary Le Chef. While you’re still delivering items to the people that come in, you can also direct movie scenes in certain venues.

Sometimes, you have to shoot the same scene repeatedly, but it gives you a chance to fully read the dialogue and get an idea of what the movie is about plot wise.

You still have to clean tables and reload the stock, but the game rewards you for it by giving you extra points for each level. That’s right; this game actually rewards OCD players such as me. You also have to find the mouse in each level and complete an event in order to earn diamonds and purchase trophies. You have to get the first star in order to advance through the game, but go for all three if you feel lucky. Purchase upgrades in-between levels and use an item as often as possible in order to unlock all of the products. You can also unlock achievements by completing various tasks in the game.

Unlike Mary Le Chef, Maggie’s Movies actually tells you how close you are to unlocking certain products and trophies.

This game is addictive and intriguing. I give it 8 out of 10, a brilliant commentary on Hollywood sexism.

When you come across an abandoned lot, you decide to build your own high school. Can you create the ideal place where everyone can just be themselves while fighting off the rival Hearst High?

I’ll be honest, the only reason I checked this game out is because I heard the Monster High characters would make cameo appearances. However, let me say that I did not regret getting this game. For those of you put off by the high school setting, let me tell you that it’s high school as it should be rather than how it actually is. I told you that the Monster High characters make cameo appearances in the game and, let me tell you, it actually fits. For those of you unfamiliar with Monster High, it’s about embracing all of the freaky flaws that make you who you are. High School Story has a similar premise in that, no matter what clique you belong to, everyone will accept you for who you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re a male cheerleader or a female nerd; nobody mocks you at this school. Nerds hang out with jocks; preps can date gamers and so on. Everyone has their own thing and, rather than being ostracized for it, the game celebrates the characters for it.

The game explores many themes such as the dangers of cyber-bullying and the discrimination girls face in the world of computers and video games. One plot introduces an organization known as Girls Who Code dedicated to closing the gender gap in coding using the character Payton. Another plot is about the girl gamer character, Sakura, and the prejudice she faces in MMORPGs for being a girl gamer. I’ll admit that the game does sometimes run the risk of becoming an after-school special but they do so in very tolerable ways. Some quests are just about the characters hanging out and having fun. The game knows when to be funny and when to be serious.

The game play is similar to many simulation iPhone apps. You send characters on quests and wait for them to finish. The quests can take up to a few minutes to several hours, but the rewards are worth it. You can collect books from the classroom, build dorms and collect money, send characters on dates and even party to get one of each type of classmate.

Let me tell you that every type comes with a special side quest. You can also build a library where you can meet a special character and complete vocabulary quests.

However, like Hollywood U, once you finish the extra additions, the game begins to dull. You just continue playing to see what goes on further in the plot. I should also warn you that many of the extra additions cost money and, if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to experience everything this game has to offer.

This game is addictive and insightful. I give it 7 out of 10; loses its appeal after a long while but worth checking out.

Allison’s mother comes back in her life and needs an organ transplant only she can give her. Meanwhile, Little Creek falls under new management and burns to the ground. Daniel also comes back into Allison’s life after she starts a relationship with Connor. Can our favorite medical intern juggle family, relationship and work drama?

While it may seem like I mentioned a spoiler in the very first paragraph, the game starts out with the hospital on fire. Angela’s friend, Jenny, makes an appearance as the on location reporter.

The story starts out in the middle and flashes back to how they got there. I will warn you that the rest of my review contains spoilers, so read with caution. Remember what happened in the last game, when Daniel stole drugs from the hospital? Now, he faces the consequences. The game expects you to take pity on Daniel and cheer for him and Allison as they try to hide any evidence of Daniel’s wrongdoing. Allison ruins her relationship with Connor and even prepares to lie for Daniel at the board meeting, throwing her own life and career on the line.

I get that Daniel’s trying to clean himself up, but he’s still the one responsible for stealing drugs in the first place. A patient almost died because of his addiction.

While we’re on the subject of unintentionally unsympathetic, I feel that I should discuss Allison’s mother. We already learned in the last game that Allison’s father died. Now we learn that her mother abandoned her shortly afterwards. One section of the game flashes back to Allison’s childhood to explain her mother’s reasoning. After Allison’s father died, her mother experienced blackouts during times such as cooking and driving, becoming a danger to Allison and herself. Therefore, her mother decides to leave Allison with her grandparents and never look back. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making light of her situation. It’s just that, while I do feel that Allison’s mother needed extra help, there’s no reason why she couldn’t stay with Allison. She straight out abandoned Allison in her time of need and we’re supposed to not only sympathize, but also agree with the actions of the deadbeat parent. Then Allison’s half-brother has the nerve to guilt trip her into going through with the operation, despite Allison’s own issues with her deadbeat mom. The only shining light in this plot line is the mystery of what Allison’s mom suffers through. Believe me when I say that it will take more than an organ donation to save her.

I mentioned that the game has a flashback inside a flashback and that’s how we meet this story’s villain. He’s the father of the arrogant Mason and he’s all about making money. This is a villain so blinded by greed that companies bribe him to use their low-quality medicine and he bribes ambulances to bring all patients to Little Creek. Not once does it ever cross this man’s mind that, if Little Creek gets a bad reputation, people will stop going there. In present time, he takes over the hospital when the board fires Daniel. This new boss makes budget cuts so drastic that the hospital barely functions. He hints that he wants to destroy the hospital in order to get revenge on Daniel’s father for rightfully reporting his stupid misconduct. What this villain doesn’t get is that, if the hospital shuts down, he’ll receive a fair share of the blame as a business failing due to his own incompetence. This whole incident reminds me of an episode of House of Mouse where Scrooge McDuck bought the club and went through serious character derailment. He makes stupid decisions just to save a few bucks, such as feeding everyone a single pea and going on as the club’s entertainment showing off his #1 Dime. The difference is that you’re not supposed to take the latter seriously. The game seems to be aware of it due to having Connor point out what I already discussed, sans the Scrooge McDuck reference. However, the writers still expect us to take this plot seriously.

The game play is nonstop addicting, as your job is to get the patients to the necessary stations and then check them out.

Some of the treatments require playing mini-games and you have to get all three hearts. You can complete tasks to earn diamonds that you can use to purchase upgrades for Allison’s apartment.

There is no in-story reason for this and Allison moves out of her small apartment at the end, making the purchases null and void. You have to get the first star in order to advance to the next level but try for all three, if you feel lucky. You can play challenge levels in-between where you can collect three diamonds based on your score. The levels go from the regular hospital game play to finding Oliver the guinea pig and completing one mini-game after another. Like the last game, Emily also makes a cameo and you can play as her for one level in the hospital cafeteria.

This game is addicting and a tiny bit sad. I give it 6 out of 10, serious plot problems, but still an enjoyable use of your time.

When the head surgeon won’t take Allison Heart as an intern, she has to make do in other specialties. Meanwhile, Allison’s ex-boyfriend, Daniel, becomes the new head of the hospital and Connor, another old flame, dates another intern. Can Allison succeed in her career while also having to juggle her personal life?

This is it, the long awaited season 2 of Heart’s Medicine. Your favorite characters are back and new characters join in the fun. Even Emily makes a cameo in her own special levels, but I’ll discuss that later. In the last game, each venue had a side plot to go with each doctor’s specialization. This game starts out similarly until you get to the Emergency Room. Then you have one issue you have to solve for the rest of the game. Not only is it heartbreaking, but we also learn more about Allison’s past which I won’t give away. This case will follow Allison all the way to surgery, where she’ll meet a doctor who cares more about efficiency than he does about his patients. This conflicts with how Allison develops emotional attachment to her patients. As for which I think is better, this situation reminds me of the movie Patch Adams. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, it’s about a doctor who believes that you can heal patients through emotional connections. According to the Nostalgia Critic, the movie undermines its own moral through the side-plot with Patch Adam’s love interest, Carin. She starts out cold and distant until Patch persuades her to start trusting people. This leads her to go to the house of a medical patient with severe mental issues who ends up killing her. The Nostalgia Critic uses this scene to undermine Patch’s sarcastic argument asking about what would happen if the doctor developed emotional attachment to their patients, would they explode? Then points out that, when you get emotionally involved, you make bad decisions that could be potentially lethal. However, Dr. Quinn (the head of surgery) makes decisions based on what would save the hospital money and doesn’t really put his full-effort into helping his patients. In fact, like the medical staff in Dr. Strange, I suspect that he would be more likely to cut off an organ donor. It’s the very reason why my mother refuses to have her organs donated and encouraged me to do the same.

As I said in the first paragraph, the love triangle from Season 1 returns. In the first game, Allison had to choose between the sweet and stable Daniel and the jerk with a heart of gold Connor. Here, the two have switched roles with Daniel becoming more reckless and Connor turning into the stable one. What I’m about to say comes with spoilers, so feel free to skip this paragraph. The stress of becoming the new head of the hospital gets to Daniel as he turns into a pill-popping maniac, stealing medicine from his own hospital. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I’m very happy about this development. Usually, when people want to have a drug addict in their stories and still want to keep the rating PG-13, the go to drug is marijuana. Amateur writers treat these users as if they’ve just been discovered using heroin, one prominent example being a cartoon drug PSA movie I watched in Middle School that the Nostalgia Critic tore apart in a review. In this game, they use an actually addictive drug, Ritalin that often has the street name of kiddie coke, to demonstrate Daniel’s addiction. Connor becomes the voice of reason Allison depends on to help her through a tough emotional time. Many people are unaware of this, but there is a label known as the Madonna Whore complex saying that a woman can either be an innocent and virginal wife or an evil and manipulate whore. There is no middle ground. While the gender reverse can happen in fiction, people usually give the bad boy of the love triangle more sympathy than they would give a bad girl. In this story, neither one of them are the good boy or the bad boy. Daniel and Connor are just people with strengths and flaws who can’t be so easily labeled as to which one is good or bad. The woman version of this makes an appearance in the game with Connor briefly dating the new intern, Jenny. While Allison does show jealousy, Jenny is not evil. She’s just the new intern who happens to be dating Connor and breaks up with him because they’re incompatible.

The game play in this story is similar to Season 1 with a few notable differences. For instance, you can now play special challenge levels and, once a venue, you can play as Emily in the hospital cafeteria.

These levels are my favorite because it’s such a unique take on the Heart’s Medicine game with the addition of a familiar character that is, in a way, responsible for Allison’s existence. Had it not been for the success of Emily’s series, Delicious, the same people would have never made Heart’s Medicine. Another difference in this version is that the game will occasionally show cut scenes set to music that sets the mood of the situation.

Other than that, the game play is not so different from Season 1. You click on patients and take them to the treatment center that they request. Then heal them and check them out.

Some patients will require you to play a mini-game, which can get rather difficult, believe me.

When they get their full health back, you can check them out at the front desk. You need to get at least one star to advance to the next level but try to get all three, if you feel lucky. You can find Oliver the guinea pig and complete a challenge in each main story level. Every challenge you complete gives you more diamonds, which you can use to buy items for the new hospital wing. You can also collect trophies throughout the game and view character profiles. One thing I didn’t like about the profiles was that the game classifies Dr. Quinn as slightly autistic. As someone with autism, I found that classifying one of the game’s sociopathic characters as such is a little insulting. When I played the game, I assumed that, because many patients die in Dr. Quinn’s profession, he just stopped caring. To say that he’s slightly autistic feels like putting a label on him the same way a girl I knew used to put a label on me. She would go so far as to see a rude character on TV and loudly declare them autistic. Last but not least, be sure to check out the ending credits for a little Easter egg that’s almost guaranteed to make you laugh.

This game is heartfelt and challenging. I give it 7 out of 10; it loses a point for the issue I touched upon earlier.

I was working on a character profile for a character I based off of River and I couldn’t stop thinking about Firefly. So, I created someone who, in my opinion, is one of the most memorable characters in sci-fi using the dollmaker Sci-Fi Warrior by Azaleas Dolls. For those of you who haven’t seen Firefly, River is the genius sister of Simon Tam. She and her brother became fugitives after the Alliance (the evil government in Firefly) took her to what her family thought was a special school, but was actually a cover for a government project that conducted experiments on her. Simon risked his life and career to save her and they both stay on Serenity as fugitives. The experience made her crazy as she speaks mostly in metaphors and may seem helpless, but can be quite deadly when the situation calls for it. So don’t underestimate this girl or you will regret it. Unfortunately, Firefly got canceled after its first season but there are still movies and comic books to help you get your fix. There’s also a game in the works called Firefly Online, but it’s been in development hell. So I doubt that it will be released soon, if at all. In all honesty, I think the game’s canceled which, as a browncoat, I find a real shame.

Emily’s gone through serious changes. Not only is she the star of her own cooking blog, but she’s also pregnant with a new little brother or sister for Paige. Can she find a way to manage her blog and her pregnancy?

With a summary like that, you’d think the game would be more about Emily’s blog. Unfortunately, it’s all about the pregnancy. How Emily has so much to do with her restaurant, preparing for the baby and keeping house. Apparently, Patrick fails at this due to one comment about how he fails at doing laundry in a washing machine. People, it’s the 2010s; these jokes about how men can’t keep house and how women have to do everything are seriously outdated. I should warn you that I’m about to discuss spoilers, so proceed with caution. Patrick does give up his man cave to make a baby room and sell his motorcycle to buy an expensive crib. Let me explain that, in one venue, Emily works at a baby store making cupcakes and coffee. This same baby store has two expensive cribs that no one’s buying. To me, it makes sense because you don’t really need to spend a ton of money on a crib. Babies don’t care where they sleep as long as it’s sturdy. My mom told me that I slept in a second hand crib and I didn’t throw a fit over it. Well, Emily wants them for her baby whom she thinks is going to be a girl. The owners can’t get rid of the cribs, so they have a contest to give one of the cribs as a prize to lucky number 500. Francois and Angela win, so they end up giving the crib for a baby girl to Emily at the baby shower. Then the baby turns out to be a boy so, as I said earlier, Patrick buys the crib as a gift. Actually, Emily’s having twins and the monitor couldn’t detect them. Allison claims that this can happen, although it’s rare. If you ask me, this is just a contrivance in order to shock the player. They go so far as to drag this out by putting Emily in the hospital due to false labor pains and the doctors won’t discharge her because Allison’s busy in the Emergency Room. Therefore, Emily has to deal with Dr. Bozo, a man that tries to make her laugh whether she likes it or not. Emily’s having a stressful time and doesn’t want to deal with any of this, but everyone else just tells her to give Dr. Bozo a chance.

There are some good points in the storyline, such as a daycare teacher not knowing how to handle kids. You also have a laugh out loud moment when, after Emily agonizes about what to do for her Mother’s Day special, she accidentally gives birth live on her blog. Thankfully, her viewers love it but that might be a bit of wish fulfillment. I don’t know about you but, if I saw someone giving birth on their video blog, I’d have the same reaction Chandler and Monica had when the former popped in a video tape about a woman giving birth mistaking it for porn. Another good point is that Emily’s grandpa Vito is in this game and dealing with his own terminal illness. He dies in the end in a scene that choked me up.

I’ll admit there’s one part of the game that I feel neutral about at best. In one venue, Emily visits a yoga studio and talks with the owner who’s expecting her own baby. Apparently, she didn’t give her husband a say and he leaves her. I think she was a little pushy, but it still doesn’t justify her husband abandoning her and the baby. Don’t worry; she meets another love interest from her past in another contrived coincidence.

The game play is typical of Delicious with you delivering items to customers either at the table or at the register. Then you check them out and, in the case of seated customers, you clean the table after they leave. I’ll admit that, considering the summary mentioned Emily having a blog, I thought the level would be more of a computer type setup similar to Fabulous Angela’s Sweet Revenge. Instead, you have the traditional map setup and you navigate through it like any other game with special challenge levels for more diamonds. You can also play the daily challenge to earn more diamonds and you spend them on baby supplies. You have to spend diamonds to purchase all three variations of the same product, which seems like a waste to me.

You don’t always play as Emily throughout the game due to all of the venues being different. However, you do get to play as Angela in the last venue where she prepares food. Sometimes I think the game forgets that Angela is a seamstress. You could’ve had this be Mary’s level from Mary Le Chef and hire her for catering. Angela could prepare baby clothes as Emily prepared cupcakes at the baby store. Each venue also comes with mini games that you can successfully complete for more points.

You can also catch the mouse in each level and earn diamonds in some levels for story events. Like the previous games, you can win up to three stars and, in this game, you can win up to three diamonds in the challenge levels. The daily levels reset every 24 hours and you can earn up to six diamonds from those. You can also win postcards if you meet certain conditions that you can customize and share on Facebook.

This game is contrived and mediocre at best. I give it 5 out of 10, not awful, just disappointing.

When Emily was three, her grandfather went on a voyage at sea never to return. Now, he’s back and he’s lost his memory. Can a family reunion be enough to restore the memories of Emily’s grandfather?

Yes, it’s the old amnesia cliché favored by soap opera writers. Let me tell you, that’s not the only cliché in this game. Another common theme is about getting what you want rather than appreciating what you have. In this game, you get to go to Italy and meet Edward’s brothers. I should tell you that, in the beginning of the game, Emily’s grandfather gives each of his sons a silver dollar to start making their fortune. Edward’s bitter because he never started a restaurant empire with his dollar, even though Evelyn reminds him that he has a loving family and is a great provider. I do like that, when Edward tells Evelyn that anyone can do those things, she told him the truth that they can’t. Since I know people who fail as family providers, she couldn’t be more right.

As for Edward’s brothers, one opened a seafood shop yet has trouble getting good catches. Another runs his own farm and socializes better with animals than humans. The final one opened a vineyard and fired his workers, replacing them with machines. When Emily and her family visit each restaurant, they fix things by teaching the fisherman how to be patient and wait for the big catch. They also teach the farmer the value of working with others. Finally, they teach the winemaker to brew his own wine instead of making cheap wine that tastes like shoes in order to make himself more money. Though I don’t get how the third brother is rich if his wine tastes terrible. Then again, Taco Bell still manages to stay in business, so maybe it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Anthony only makes one mention of how he spent his dollar and references his son from Delicious 2. So the series hasn’t entirely forgotten Anthony’s son, they just don’t add him as a regular to the cast. I forgot to tell you that, before Emily’s grandfather left, he tells his sons that their mother to put a special ingredient in all of her food that made her a success. Anyone familiar with this cliché knows that the secret ingredient is love, but the game insists on stretching it out into one huge and unnecessary mystery.

The game play is typical of any Delicious game with Emily serving both standing and seated customers in each restaurant. You deliver the food they want, check them out and, in the case of seated customers, clean the tables.

There is one issue I have with the last part. However, I’ll admit that it’s rather minor. When you clean the tables by yourself, you see a sparkle effect. Eventually, you get a cleaner but the said effect is gone and, let me tell you, I love that effect. Try to get three stars on each level and don’t forget to purchase upgrades in-between levels. You also have special challenges to complete, a mouse to catch and, the more products you use, the more you unlock. The special challenges will give you diamonds that you can use to invite various characters to the Delicious family reunion. The only one absent is Angela, but Emily explains that she’s in New York participating in the contest shown in Fabulous: Angela’s Fashion Fever.

You can also collect trophies and read the notes left by various real life Delicious fans and, let me tell you, the notes are very heartwarming.

This game is fun but doesn’t really sound out. I give it 6 out of 10, a good distraction wrapped up in a cliché plot.

When your sister turns up dead, it’s up to you to find her killer. Can you solve the mystery without being another victim?

Trust me when I say that the plot’s not that simple. There’s a bigger plot at work and, spoiler alert, your sister might not be dead. Only problem is that the main character can’t seem to figure that out, even with the evidence. However, I do find the mystery intriguing in its own right.

The game play is typical of any hidden object game. You travel between different locations trying to find different objects to add to your inventory. Sometimes you have to complete a hidden object scene in order to collect some items. You will have to complete mini-games to advance, or just skip it if you like to be lazy. If you get stuck, use a hint.

This game is addictive and intriguing. I can definitely see myself buying it in the future.

For those of you who play Star Trek Online, I’m sure you’re well-aware that, this summer, there will be a new expansion called Victory is Life.

It’s bringing back DS9 characters and introducing a new faction! I’m sure many of you are curious as to who the character silhouettes are. I will tell you that people in Germany already figured out two of them and Hashakgig1106 already sent me a link of the German article.

I’ll admit, I can’t read a word of it, but I recognize the two characters they revealed in Germany that they didn’t reveal in America for some reason. Anyway, what do you think? Are you excited about the new content or wary of it? Do you even play Star Trek Online? I know that I need to start catching up on this game quick!
